Helpful Score: 1

Ms. Harrison has a very picturesque and poetic style of writing. I enjoyed how the 2 young women's lives entertwined, but a bit too much jumping around for me. Also, the young queen did not have a very likable personality, seemed rather hysterical and spoiled. Francisca was intelligent, just made some bad choices. Parts were quite steamy (whew!) but well-written and will make you sigh aloud! Seemed very true to the era. A must read if you enjoy novels about the old monarchy (think Philippa Gregory).
